Danielle, jo and jack (why does he rarely get mentioned he has the worse attitude of them all) Are far worse than Jade in terms of racism...however Jade has been a vicious bully. I'm not sure if I believe that whole she's not a racist thing, that name piss take was the only thing I heard from her so I may be inclined to believe she is not generally a racist...YET she still deserves to get crap because of the bullying. She instigated most of it... I agree with whoever said it focused too much on racism...that should be saved for the others.
As regards to the white trash thing, yes jermaine should have been called on it. The reason I think he wasn't was because apparently what he actually said was something along the lines or "in america they are what would be refered to as white trash". Plus the whole white trash Phrase is one coined by white people to refer to the class of a person not by another race to degrodise white people...still not acceptable but it doesn't carry the same connotations so maybe that's why its seen as generally less offensive. Thing is jade goody, her family and her minions have behaved like trash...if he had said they are trash most would have agreed. All he has done now is give ammunition to people who like to write into papers and say things like "white people don't over react to everything like coloured people do" and now people who are so inclined to give jade and her gang justification...even though shilpa never said anything.
